A successor to Century: One Hundred Years of Human Progress, Suffering, Regression and Hope, this thick album of 500 captioned photographs provides a wide-ranging visual overview of world events in the first decade of the 21st century, captured by both journalist photographers and also bystanders with mobile phone cameras. The relatively shorter historical span allows the book to focus on arts, architecture, sports, and technology as well as key moments in international political affairs, from the AIDS epidemic in Africa to the World Trade Center attacks of 9/11, from the first tests of the Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva to the death of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

"A book I've been unable to pull my eyes from.... Decade is a kaleidoscopic look in the rearview mirror, where the objects are not only closer than they appear but also gaining on us."—NYTimes
